The Moline crowd was sadly dis

sanguine of success, and so the defeat
was doubly crushing.
Grimes and Baker, two generally safe
battcrs, failed TO hit the sphere yester =

has long since withdrawn from the
club OF which no was a member. pre-
ferring to concentrate his time and at
tentions on his family and home. And
he and his still charming wife have
discovered a far more acceptable way
of using their generous income than In
tempting others to follow an oxtrava'
CANT or fashionable lead.
1t was somehow so significant, that
terrible temptation and timely warning
coming in connection with the Christ
day.
1t resulted in strong resolve on his
part to avoid setting an example in
his daily life and manner of living
which have tendency to urge on
some hitherto upright but entangled
brother whose swift approach to like
yawning brink might not be arrested
by like timely warning.

An Annual Foolishness.

1t is surprising that the Yale college
authorities do not take in hand this
matter of the annual so-called class
statistics. They do no little mis-.
chief. whether it is intended or not.
Take for example the figures Of the
average cost of the college course.
They roll up large figure, and peo-
pie who have not the facts in their pos
session naturally accept the result. Ii
the contradictory remark may be
made, we will say that even If they
were right, they would he wrong, but,
being wrong themselves, they can not
be right. II they did give the average
amount of money really spent, they
would have no Significance One rich
BOBBY, the laughing-stock of his class
and the financial stay of various poor
fellows who coached him, might spend
enough to raise the whole class average
we'll above true cost. Several spend
thrifts could give an appearance OF
luxury to the average expenses OF all,
If the actual figures were given. But,
to begin with. the data are meager,
and not actual, often the mere guesses
of the boys and oftener yet a mere
statement of how much their fathers
have spent on them during the year.
What basis that is for calculating the
real cost Of going through college!
A better test would be to find the
expenses of, say, the highest ten men,
bers of the class. That would indicate
something, for probably they would
know what they did with their money
and consequently what the course die
cost them.
This generalizing from haphazart
statistics for the sake Of reaching mis-
guiding results is more than nonsense
it is an injury to the college ant
should be stopped, and it is an injury
to the general cause of higher educa

Eagles Grow Big IN Georgia.

On the 9Th day of this month saw a
fight between an eagle and buzzard.
Twas walking beside the swamp, about
two miles below my plantation. when
heard roaring sound like that made
by train in rapid motion, or by
heavy wind. The noise approached
nearer and nearer, and grew louder
and louder. l looked all around but
could see nothing, and was at loss to
know what caused the disturbance until
l happened to look up. when | saw two
large fowls fighting in mid air. about
the height of tall pine tree from the
ground.
In short while both fell to the
ground. only about twenty steps from
me. Then saw chat II was largo
eagle which had caught buzzard as
her prey. For three minutes l never
saw feathers fly so in my life. The
eagle hoped off few feet distant, and
warily surveyed her prey. She then
hoped up to the buzzard. turned it
over with one claw, and. becoming
satisfied that it was dead, flew up into
a pine and gave two screams. which
could easily have been heard mile.
She sailed off over the swamp. return
ing in short while with four young
eagles about the size of large hawk.
They all pitched upon the buzzard. and
commenced tearing it in pieces.
just such chatting l never heard.
There was grounding feeding near
by, aud. no doubt, smelling the blood,
trotted up to where the eagles were.
The old mother eagle screamed and
struck the hog. cutting one Of the hogs
{ ears off even with its head. The hog
retreated, and the eagle struck it again.

Bernhardt is very independent in her
choice of acquaintance. She objects de
cidedly to meeting people who do not in

way to her feelings. An intimate Of the
great actress once asked if he might bring
a friend of his 10 see her, and added, He

where most women would have said: Is
he respectable" and then she continued:

unsympathetic. - This explains, perhaps,
why Sarah Beruhardt is always so talka-
tive, cordial and sunny at her receptions:
She feels that she is surrounded by congo

tits a useful precaution for the tourist,
the commercial traveller, or the emigrant to
the West, to take along Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Invalids who travel by steamboat
or rail should provide themselves with 1t
in order to prevent or remedy the nausea
which the jarring and vibration Of vehicles
ia trdnsitu often causes them. Vastly
preferable is 1t for this simple, but needful
purpose, to the heady unmedlcated stimu-
lants OF commerce. On board ship 1t not only
remedies seasickness, but neutralizes the
pernicious effects Of water slightly brackish,
which, II unqualified, is apt to give rise to
irregularities OF the bowels, cramps In the
abdominal region, and dyspepsia. To the
arial poison Of malaria 1t is an efficient
antidote. Sick headache, heartburn and
wind upon the stomach are promptly ban
tshed by 1t. 1t BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the
kidneys and bladder and nullifes the early
symptoms OF rheumatism.
